Business Growth Sparring: A safe place to refine strategies and test ideas before they become commitments
A trusted, experienced advisor by your side who offers objective, honest feedback, challenges assumptions, and provides strategic guidance to help refine ideas, solve problems, and accelerate growth.
Sometimes, just articulating the question is half the answer
There’s real power in voicing your concerns or uncertainties to someone outside your daily grind. It forces clarity. Growth sparring reveals assumptions you didn’t know you were making. Often, the simple act of talking through a strategic worry with someone who listens deeply and asks the right questions back gets you halfway to the solution already.
Polish your thinking. Balance your acting.
You’re a founder or commercial leader at a services company. Agency, professional services firm, or scale-up. You’ve built something real. You’re great at what you do, but not always the best at getting it out to the market effectively. Now you’re facing the kind of decisions that keep you up at night: entering new markets, rebuilding your team, launching new offerings, or navigating major change. You don’t need someone to teach you how to run a business. You need someone who’s smart on the market, who gets it fast, and who’ll help you to polish your thinking and balance your acting.
Why Me as Your Business Growth Sparring Partner?
I get your market, your company and your ambitions. Fast.
There’s one thing I’ve consistently done better than my consulting colleagues: understanding a client’s market. Not better than someone who’s been in that market for years – but well enough to earn the right to challenge strategic choices alongside you.
It starts with genuine curiosity about you and your business.
I ask questions about what drives your company, what keeps you up at night, where you see opportunities. I read into your market. I talk to your people. I gather data and connect the dots. And then something clicks – insights emerge that let me translate what I’ve seen work (and fail) elsewhere into your specific situation.
This is what makes our Business Growth sparring partnership work
I invest the time to truly understand your business and competitive landscape. Not just the industry trends, but your company’s unique position, capabilities, and ambitions. That combination – deep understanding of your reality plus fresh outside perspective – is where the breakthrough thinking happens.
You get a sparring partner who’s done the homework. Someone who gets where you’re coming from, but isn’t stuck in your industry’s conventional wisdom. We invest time in getting to know your market, your company. Ask questions, connect dots, spot patterns you might miss when you’re in it every day.
Business Growth Sparring: Your secret weapon for growing faster together
Dedication & attention
Not occasional advice. Not just coaching. Real partnership on the decisions where you’ll feel we could help most.
We’re honest and direct
Clear language. Tough questions. Sometimes uncomfortable truths. Always focused on growing your business and growing yourself.
We produce work with you
Not just talk. Every session drives toward practical output-decisions made, priorities clarified, actions defined.
Weekly 1:1
We meet every week for short, focused update sessions. You bring your urgent questions or the things you worry about. We prioritize together, identify what needs attention, and make decisions with clarity.
Monthly deepdive
Every month we interchange the short session for a two-hour intensive session where we tackle your biggest strategic challenges-new market entry, commercial team design, leadership hires, or transformation issues.
On-Demand Support
Why this works
Trust through understanding
We’ve spent decades working exclusively with service companies. We know your world -the challenges of building commercial teams, the pressure of founder-led sales, the complexity of scaling professional services.
Complementarity & The right balance
We support you and challenge you. We recognize patterns and help you avoid costly mistakes. We level up your thinking without taking over your decisions.
Battle-tested playbooks
We share what actually works (and what fails) from years of experience across markets and business models.
12-month partnership
Structured commitment with weekly touchpoints. Cancellable with 4 weeks notice-but designed to deliver value from month one.
Serious vetting period
Before we start, we invest time getting to know each other. This only works if there’s real fit and mutual respect.
Full transparency on investment.
This is a strategic decision. We’ll discuss commitment and outcomes upfront.
